Hopkins starting to fade and being real about it

[jabsRstiff]

Better....but would still lose.

He'd box a little more, instead of just looking to bomb Hop out.
Hop is also not quite as sharp as he was then.

Tito will have more success, but Hopkins superior skill & size would see him putting it to Trinidad down the stretch.

Hopkins by unanimous decision.

A believable result as Hopkins is still a great fighter at his age. Who do you think would trouble Bernard more in Tito and Taylor?

hmm

Roy's legacy is not tarnished badly, and neither will Hopkins' if he loses. He is 40 for Christ's sake, and all fighters get old. Great fighters are remembered for being great, not falling on their butts when they got old.

Peace.

I think if Taylor beats Eduoard decisively and then goes ahead and beats another nice middleweight...then he'd give Hop the most trouble. He has a lot of weapons and is physically bigger and stronger than is Tito. He'd be very dangerous for Hop.

By the way great avatar wez. Toney seems to be in good fashion there.

hop is getting old but his skills have not deminished to the point where he would lose to tito. that was a pretty bad beating tito took.

[DLT]

DLT put this out there, so he can set up the argument that his boy Floyd deserves the #1 spot.

Come on now, you have to give me more respect then that. I already told you that I keep it real and say what I feel. I have X as the #4# king. I made this thread because I am a fan of his and I dont want his legacy tarnished. If he beats Eastman which I think he will but you never know, then he will fight Tito (if he wins) because there is just too much money in that fight and he probally believes that he can still beat him but I think he would get KO

GL: After having reviewed your fight with Hopkins on tape, can you tell us some things you might do differently against him in a potential rematch?

FT: "I will answer that question simply..Yes, that fight will definitely be different because I'm going to win. I'm 100% sure of it!"

I agree that Taylor would probably be the toughest with more experience. Like you say he is bigger and naturally stronger.

Toney is a unbelievable fighter and great for boxing in my opinion. The avatar took some finding but i finally got one i'm happy with.

No i missed last weeks. ****, i bet that was entertaining. He does say some shocking things but he does amazing things for the sport in my opinion. Boxing needs character and fans love someone who's different. Another thing about him too is that nobody knows 100% whether he can back up what he's saying so it leaves the unpredictability factor there too.
